Better home

*****

It’s said no place is better than home

The sun always shines at home

Yet there are those who find home away

For them it’s home far away from home

But none have a found a better home

*****

None is yet it to find a perfect home

For a traveller won’t find a home on the way

Though there be oases and grass along the way

We cannot yet call it home

We still long for a better home

*****

And perhaps our cravings are not misguided

Maybe we are only responding to the bell at home

We can see and feel all is not right

We know we haven’t found it yet

For our true home awaits us ahead

*****

Our good homes are only an image

A blurred image of our true home

A better home where no tear drops

A home where mummy never leaves

A better home with our loving Father
